Complementary DNA encoding the IgG1 induction factor, the first lymphokine directed to B lymphocytes, from a murine T-cell line has been cloned using a new strategy. The putative primary amino-acid… (More)

SummaryThe complete nucleotide sequence of RNA-2 from a Japanese isolate IP of broad bean wilt virus (BBWV) was determined. The sequence encodes a single large polyprotein, which contains a putative… (More)

By a combination of PCR with degenerate primers and low stringency probing, we have isolated a large family of genes related to the Ca2+-sensing receptor from the genome of Fugu rubripes. One of the… (More)

BB-K8 is a new derivative of kanamycin acylated with L(-)-γ-amino-α-hydroxybutyric acid at the C-1 amino group of the 2-deoxystreptamine moiety. The details of the synthesis, involving a selective… (More)

ABSTRACT A viral isolate, designated N-1 and obtained from a gentian (Gentiana scabra) plant that exhibited mosaic symptoms, was transmitted mechanically to nine plant species in six families. These… (More)
